Chapter 401: Side Story 15 - The crazy uncle in this area 1

The team members seemed to be having mental breakdowns. They could see the rope jumping up and down with joy in front of them.

[#$$&!]

I can walk down the aisle now! I can!

‘Why the hell is he doing this to us?’

"Captain, are you being serious?”

Ilya’s jaw dropped as he looked at the rope. He wanted to believe it was a lie, but Jaeha’s reaction was……

“Hahahaha, the rope is our sister-in-law now. Yes, yes indeed.”

“?!”

‘The rope really is going to be our sister-in-law?!’

He thought that this scammer might be scamming again, but that was not the case.

Jaeha may be a magician with his words, but the team members had been fooled enough times to know better.

This look of disbelief on his face meant that he was not lying.

Jaeha, who was designing the wedding invitation on the computer, was changing the name.

[Groom Seo Ju-Heon, Bride Rope…]

That wasn't all.

“No! This can’t be…!”

“This is wroooooooooong!”

The bride candidates, Irene and Seol-A, were crying their hearts out. They must have tried to activate the Treasure over and over without even sleeping after the shocking results.

Unfortunately, this rude Treasure did not even budge in the two women's hands.

They were close to instantly being unable to walk down the aisle.

“No, this is not right. This is not right!”

The two of them fainted from fatigue after not sleeping for a few days.

The team members, who were all gathered for the first time in a long while, were all shocked to see this.

"What the hell happened?”

They all looked toward June.

“Are these damn artifacts doing this on purpose because they don't want to accept Ju-Heon having a human wife?”

Seol-A and Irene were trying to activate an artifact after all. They thought it might be doing this on purpose because it was siding with the other artifacts.

Jaeha added on as if he knew what was going on.

“You told it as the Supreme Leader not to activate, didn't you?”

“I can't believe you would think that. I don’t abuse my authority like that.”

“Bullshit, you used your authority to abduct the pushover.”

“How the hell could the rope activate it if you didn't abuse your authority to make it happen?”

June laughed out loud.

“I don't see why it would be impossible for this rope. In some aspects, it’s stronger than me.”

“What?”

The Supreme Leader of the artifacts just chuckled instead of responding.

Anyway, June seemed to be telling the truth.

“It’s not that Seol-A and Irene are lacking in abilities. They are rare talents even among humans.”

It was just that…

“Please move! Come on!”

“Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! I need to be allowed into the wedding hall!”

Their continued efforts did seem to have been worth it as they made extremely small movements, but…

[Get lost, you young bitches.]

[Go suck on your mommy’s titties some more.]

“Kyaaaa! It turned off again!”

The Treasures snorted and fell back asleep. The rope was roaming around them doing its best to teach them how to get them to work.

It was at that moment.

“It’s still not working very well?”

“C, Captain-nim!”

Ju-Heon entered where they were.

The two of them urgently hid the artifacts they were trying to activate behind their backs once they saw Ju-Heon.

Even though they weren’t saying anything, Ju-Heon laughed after seeing the two women looking as if they would cry at any moment.

He wondered how many all-nighters they had pulled to focus on this. Their skin looked rougher and they looked very tired. They must not have eaten, cleaned, or slept properly for many days.

Ju-Heon was extremely thankful and thought that they were really good girls, but the expression on his face made it seem as if he had expected this from the beginning.

‘Well, I didn’t know that the Treasures wouldn't budge this much.’

‘Anyway, it’s fine if we get married even if you can't…”

“No!”

“!”

“It’s meaningless if we can’t handle this! We can't get married until we can use this properly!”

“?!”

Jaeha chuckled.

“Wow, I guess I can set the wedding date for ten years from now? Ugh!”

Ju-Heon, who kicked Jaeha, told the women that there was no need to do that.

“No, no, just because you can't use that…”

Seol-A and Irene grabbed Ju-Heon's arms.

The men weren’t the only ones who should keep their words. It was too embarrassing to pretend that they never said anything about this and get married to Ju-Heon.

More than the embarrassment, they didn’t think they were worthy of Ju-Heon if they couldn’t even do this.

Finally…

‘I'll be the first to get married!’

The two women glared at each other with burning gazes.

Ju-Heon just sighed.

“Well, if you say so.”

He chose to respect their decisions. Dan asked at that moment.

“Then is the wedding at a prolonged hiatus?”

It seemed that Dan’s daughter, Soo-A, was looking forward to Ju-Heon’s wedding.

She was working hard to make him a wedding gift right now.

Ju-Heon shook his head.

“The wedding will happen as planned.”

“Excuse me?”

“I will give you exactly one week. You two will have to give up if you still can't do it by then.”

“Aww, then there will be no bride.”

“Why not?”

“Excuse me?”

“I'll walk down the aisle with this little punk.”

Ju-Heon put the rope on his head.

He then leisurely turned around.

“Cute little rope. Shall we go look at some dresses? I’ll buy you a pretty one.”

“?!”

“Zhen Cai Yuan should be coming soon after tallying up her points as well……”

“#$&#$!”

"What the hell is the Captain-nim thinking?”

Jaeha was grumbling while rolling a pencil on his hand. Ilya nonchalantly responded.

“What else would he be thinking? He’ll probably just marry some other women.”

“What?!”

Chloe, who was reading a fashion magazine, had no choice but to comment.

“Stop right there. The Captain isn’t that much of a trash.”

“R, right?”

“It’s obvious the two of them would wear themselves out until they could make it work if he didn't give them a time frame.”

It wouldn't be weird if Irene and Seol-A tried for weeks, months, or even years to get it to work.

That was how difficult it was to handle those Treasures.

“Ah, this is driving me nuts. I was going to draw them a portrait as a wedding present.”

Jaeha’s paintings were being sold for quite a lot of money right now. Anybody would have been happy with it even without that fact, but…

“Do I really need to draw the rope and Zhen Cai Yuan as well?”

He didn’t mind drawing the rope. It was cute! And, even though he didn't show it, it was an artifact that the Captain-nim cherished! But that scary woman as well……?

Jaeha’s hand was shaking while holding the pencil.

Chloe shook her head.

“You don’t need to pay any attention to her. The Captain only has the two of them in mind.”

“Ah, that’s a total relief.”

Jaeha, who had many run-ins with Zhen Cai Yuan in the past, truly felt relieved as he picked up an eraser.

"But why is Soo-A's shop not here?”

“!”

That was right.

They were at an Elementary School with Ju-Heon today.

What they were looking at seemed to be an Elementary School's Marketplace.

However…

“Why does an Elementary Marketplace look so…luxurious?”

The school field had an expensive looking outdoor stage and a huge outdoor cafe.

That wasn’t all.

“Aren't they some of the country’s top celebrities?”

These people had come to Soo-A's Elementary's festival. The students were going to open a marketplace at the school and had asked for family to come support them.

Basically, the children had planned and were running their own shops, but…

"What the hell? Wasn't this the location of Soo-A’s shop?”

“I thought it was. Why is it not here?”

They were tilting their heads in confusion since they were invited to come. In place of Soo-A and her friends, what they saw was…

“Hey, hurry up and get rid of this stuff! We can't install the stage!”

“W, we can’t do that!”

The workers were rudely trying to get rid of the signs that the children had made.

It was at that moment.

“What the hell is going on here?”

“Captain-nim!”

Ju-Heon, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses as he didn’t want to be noticed, appeared. Ju-Heon looked extremely disgruntled.

Their cute little Soo-A had worked so hard to make personal invitations that said ‘oppas and unnies, please please come today.’

That was why he dropped all of his work and showed up here, but…

“Where the hell is Soo-A's shop and why the hell are there only stupid stage equipments? Where is our Soo-A?”

Ju-Heon's eyebrows twitched.

Dan suddenly ran over at that moment.

“Captain-nim! I'm sorry!”

"Dan!”

Dan apologized to the team members who had come here at Soo-A's invite.

“You came all the way here, but…!”

"What's wrong? What is it? What happened?”

“That…”

Dan had an awkward expression on his face.

This was what had happened.

“Basically, there’s the granddaughter of a rich family at this school and that bitch is pushing aside other shops to expand her shop?”

“Yes sir, apparently planning these Elementary Festivals can look good for college admissions…so they supposedly need to get first place.”

“Are the principals and teachers not doing anything?”

“Umm…apparently they are leaving it alone to supposedly teach the children about the competitive nature of the marketplace. They said it is normal to get swallowed up if you’re not competitive.”

“What the hell?”

They were obviously sucking up to that rich granddaughter’s family.

“Please return our spot!”

“Please give us back our stuff as well!”

Soo-A was complaining to the rich granddaughter who had taken their spot.

Well, she was trying to but was being stopped by the girl's secretary and guards.

“Get lost. These damn dirty little kids.”

“Sara! Give us back our spot!”

The aunt of Sara, the culprit behind this issue, started speaking.

“Oh my, listen to these kids. Why should our Sara move out of here? This is our Sara’s spot. This is where most people are going to come. My goodness, those stupid teachers screwed things up and made us to do such work.”

The friends who came with Soo-A shouted back.

“Soo-A picked this spot!”

“Hey kiddos, do you really think that it is right to sell such dirty things in the best spot of the marketplace? This is the face of the school. The interior of your shop is so terrible, no, everything is terrible. Why don’t you call your parents over? I have something to say to them.”

Sara's aunt then headed toward the administrative offices.

“Check the prize that is supposed to go to first place. I heard rumors that it would be an artifact like that esteemed person likes.”

“Yes ma’am!”

“Man, they truly don't know their place.”

The aunt ripped a painting she brought from Soo-A’s shop. Sara and her posse kicked the painting around with joy.

Jaeha, who had just arrived while looking for Soo-A, foamed at the mouth.

“Hey! What the hell are you guys doing?!”

Jaeha quickly grabbed the painting.

“I drew this painting for her!”

"What? Hey mister, you drew this painting?”

“Yeah, why?!”

“Wow, you have no sense.”

“What? Hey! What’s wrong with this?!”

“You really don’t know? The colors suck and this woman’s figure is terrible.”

“?!”

“Hey mister, have you ever dated a girl? You probably just drew her based on your imaginations.”

"What?!”

“Hey mister, does your thing even stand up? This terrible painting is very fitting for the terrible interior of their shop.”

“#$&$#!”

Jaeha was suddenly being ripped apart by a little first grader.

Sara pointed toward the corner warehouse spot she had pulled and laughed.

"Anyway, that is your spot. I don't care what you sell or do over there.”

“Sara!”

Jaeha consoled Soo-A and grabbed the back of his neck once they disappeared.

“Wow, what the heck is going on at a children’s festival?!”

"We worked so hard for three months…!”

It was at that moment.

“Is it those punks? Are they the ones who messed with our Soo-A?”

“!”

Soo-A sniffled and tried to put on her pretty face as she ran to hug Ju-Heon.

“Ju-Heon oppaaaaaa!”

“There, there, our Soo-A. I came to see the things our Soo-A made and her performance but I can't because everything is ruined.”

“I'm sorry. I really wanted to get first place for the reward…I wanted to give it to you as a wedding present!”

Ju-Heon's eyes opened wide before he smiled.

‘So that’s what this was about?’

Ju-Heon then gave orders.

“Jaeha, you restore all of the broken things and the sign if you have nothing to do.”

“W, what did you say?”

“Chloe, heal the injured children. Dan, destroy all of those shitty and frivolous stage equipment.”

“E, excuse me?”

"Ah, Kongming. It’s me. Get ready to sue people for damage to property. We should be able to get a good amount since the pushover’s paintings sell for a lot of money these days. Who do you need to sue? I don’t know. Just be ready to kill whoever it is.”

“?!”

Ju-Heon hung up and smiled.

“These mother…mm, these mean people. They only learned bad things.”

The children being bad was understandable.

"Adults shouldn't be like this.”

Ju-Heon snickered as he called someone else.

"Ah, it’s me. Get the following things ready right away.”
